Join us for the opening reception of Cement Eclipses by installation street artist Isaac Cordal (Belgium.)

Cement Eclipses is a critical definition of our behavior as a social mass. The art work intends to catch the attention on our devalued relation with the nature through a critical look to the collateral effects of our evolution...contemplating the demolition and reconstruction of everything around us.

This September, we feature sculptural works by local artists: Phyllis Lee, Guo Feng, and Ginger Yee. From gestural vessels & aquatic amphoras to figures and fowl with funky flair…we have it all! We’ll also see you out at STREET MRKT with our renowned big-bargains tent selling affordable treasures from more than 12 potters.

Opening reception for exhibition De Esperanza Y De Locura: This group exhibition presents the work of Latino artists that deal with migration and immigration issues understood as a flight of both hope and insanity.

Artists’performances (6:30-10pm) in which you can apply and win different passports and citizenships created by artists Erika Harrsch and Omar Pimienta.

Those Who Bear Witness An engaging, participatory installation with art by Guy Pederson (curator), Elisabeth Benjamin, John Merchant, and Daniel Merchant.

Through sculpture, photography, and site-specific installation, the artists demonstrate the persistence of life rising above division and strife. Visitors are invited to ‘bear witness’ in an interactive ‘tree of life.’ Pictured sculpture by Guy Pederson.

Collecting New York Beauty Quilts: Bill Volckening’s Passion Collecting New York Beauty Quilts traces the life story of an extraordinary American quilt pattern and a collector’s singular pursuit and fascinating research surrounding quilts made with this complex and graphic design.

Disappearance - A two-person art exhibition featuring prints & mixed media artwork by Pantea Karimi & Robynn Smith. While Karimi and Smith share an aesthetic point of view, this show binds them together through the theme of disappearance. Extinct species, vanishing icons and politically loaded illegible texts are some of the images explored in this exhibition.

KALEID Gallery presents What’s Under the Bed a dual exhibition by gallery artists Mark Damrel and Donny Foley.

What’s Under the Bed is about knowing what lurks in the closet, lives in the woods or when man meets centipede.

Music by DJ Coco.

“My Last Frida" is the title of one the latest pieces in this new exhibition of paintings by Mexican painter and sculptor J. Danniel.

J. Danniel's Frida illustrates a classical and traditional pose of the well known Frida Khalo, but at the same time, he presents a Frida that very few painters dare to expose.

Pictured artwork by Donny Foley

Join us for STREET MRKT, an outdoor DIY Urban Faire that will take place on South First Street between San Carlos & San Salvador during the Art Walk. Over 50 artists and indie creative retailers will be on site exhibiting and selling their work as well as great live music, gourmet food trucks and SJ Bike Valet.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT about San Jose’s new Smashburger? Their Certified Angus burgers are smashed and seared to order, a technique that purportedly seals in all of the juices.

Smashburger offers four artisan varieties of buns. Their fries are tossed in olive oil, rosemary sprigs and fresh garlic.

No corners were cut on the décor, either—cool lighting, a chic color scheme and local photographs. I was there on the second day of business and the San Jose location on Coleman Avenue already had several photos of San Joseans chowing down on their burgers.

The 6-year-old franchise has recently gathered a lot of national attention, with the CEO telling USA Today that they look to eventually be the “Starbucks of burgers.” With over 250 million burgers sold and 200 stores opened in five years, it's a conceivable goal.

SP2 Puts Down Roots ON SATURDAY, Ryan Agamie Melchiano and Ryan Hisamune unveiled SP2, to Downtown San Jose.

Two years were spent renovating the 100-year-old building, once home to Sabor and originally used as a horse stable. The area is expansive, with over 6,000 square feet inside and a 3,500 square-foot patio.

Melchiano and Hisamune opened over a dozen restaurants in San Francisco before setting their sights on the evolving scene of Downtown San Jose. SP2—short for San Pedro Squared, Silicon Valley tech humor—is their original concept.

Saturday’s grand opening was well attended, as crowds scoped out the new grounds. The outdoor grill served up plates of Asian-style ribs, sliders and bacon-wrapped hotdogs. And Chinese lion dancers made a guest appearance.

Now that the doors are officially open, SP2 is serving seven days a week, with brunch on Saturday and Sunday. And in two weeks, SP2 will be rolling out a lunch menu.

Produce to Pastries AT ITS inception last year, Strawberry Fields was a place to buy locally sourced, organic produce in suburban south San Jose. Baked goods and pastries were secondary offerings. That is, until they started to steal the show. The creative and delicious varieties of breads, pies and pastries have recently taken center stage, along with a few other savory items, sandwiches and warm drinks.

The flaky bacon cheddar scones are a neighborhood favorite. Also on display were moist, red velvet cheesecake squares and raspberry-chocolate cupcakes with pinwheels of cream cheese frosting. The produce sections have been replaced by a colorful dining room, accented by charming flower arrangements.

Businesses are few in its out of the way location, but those able to weather the time here quickly become a part of a loyal, close-knit scene.

SIBLING REVELRY Brooke (Kate Turnbull) and her younger brother, Trip (Rod Brogan), keep laughing in spite of the tension at their parents’ house.

Desert Heat LOCAL THEATER patrons are in for something special with the regional premiere of Jon Robin Baitz’s Other Desert Cities, an intelligent, poignant and surprisingly funny play about a family torn apart by old wounds and divergent politics. Much of the cast and crew, including star Kandis Chappell and director Richard Seer, and even Alexander Dodge’s evocative mid-century modernist set, have been transferred to TheatreWorks from the Old Globe production in Other Desert Cities San Diego last spring.

Thru Sep. 15 Polly and Lyman Wyeth, played splendidly Mountain View Center

by Chappell and James Sutorius, are a pair of for the Performing Arts staunchly Republican, semi-forgotten Hollywood royals spending their retirement in Palm Springs.

It is Christmas, and their liberal daughter Brooke $19-$73 (Kate Turnbull) is visiting for the first time in years. theatreworks.org While there is some tension surrounding their differing views, Brooke has yet to drop the real bomb: a memoir dealing with her troubled older brother, who decades earlier rebelled against his parents’ conservatism, fell in with the wrong crowd and eventually committed suicide.

These are memories that Polly and Lyman would rather not revisit, and the manuscript touches off a full-scale war. Julia Brothers is irresistible as bitter, wisecracking Aunt Silda, a burnt-out lush who still manages to cough out some good one-liners and who takes Brooke’s side in the conflict. Rod Brogan, meanwhile, is plaintively moderate as younger brother Trip, who attempts to keep a foot in each camp.

Polly and Lyman, resembling a second-tier Nancy and Ronald Reagan, could so easily have been reduced to caricatures, but Chappell and Sutorius deliver something else. Lyman is a damaged man hidden beneath the warmth and charm of an old-school film actor, and Chappell’s Polly, though hardly lovable, is superbly engaging in her caustic wit.

The embattled Wyeths are in many ways reminiscent of that fractured clan from the Tracy Letts drama August: Osage County, but playwright Baitz (whose other credits include the TV series Brothers & Sisters) brings a political context to the table. Family as nation, with conflict between liberal and conservative members representing a wider civic divide, may be a familiar metaphor, but Other Desert Cities is well-written and well-acted enough that it never descends into predictable stereotypes.—Sean Conwell

LOCAL LEGEND The ‘Timspiration’ exhibit includes photos of skater Tim Brauch.

On Board SATURDAY NIGHT at Seeing Things Gallery was a reunion of sorts—and a memorial. Patrons hugged and reminisced about legendary pro skateboarder and San Jose native, Tim Brauch (1974-1999). The occasion was “Timspiration,” an art exhibition dedicated to the memory of Brauch.

Despite the singular subject, artists and photographers Timspiration: Art + Photography inspired brought a wide range of individual styles to this

by Tim Brauch collection, all with the goal of capturing the protean Brauch, who died of sudden cardiac arrest at age 25— Runs thru Sep 5 and who has served as an inspiration for a generation Seeing Things Gallery of skateboarders both in the South Bay and around 30 N. Third St, the world. Almost every medium was represented in San Jose the show. A video of old collected footage plays amidst the collection of photos, letters, paintings, mixed-media installations and sculptures by artists from Russ Pope to Scotty Greathouse. Some of the best pieces are the painted skateboards by longtime Brauch friend and professional skateboarder Jason Adams. There is also a gorgeous engraved apple made from broken skateboards by Israel Forbes, another friend and professional skater.

The memory of Tim Brauch is enlivened by such an eclectic and personal collection of art, but the photographs (including the cover of Thrasher magazine) also give visitors—who may know little of San Jose’s important role in the history of the sport—a small glimpse into the story of South Bay skateboarding.

Not only is there history in these pieces, but there is familiarity. As a local professional, Brauch brought considerable exposure to San Jose in the ’90s through the unlikely medium of a sport then in disrepute. San Jose is represented in the collection through letters, tribute paintings and photographs.

In many of the shots, Brauch can be seeing doing tricks against the backdrop of Downtown or an overpass on Highway 101.

The skateboarding world excels at merchandising, and an extensive collection of commercial items at the show captures this. Beanies, t-shirts and skateboards with original artwork have been provided by Vans off the Wall, Brauch's sponsor, which also sponsored the event.

For many, the highlight of the collection is a zine made especially for the show.

It contains a simple and elegant collection of photographs of Tim Brauch in his natural element: skating, laughing, smiling. As much as any artwork on the walls, the heartfelt and handmade zine captures what made Brauch a legend during his short life, and what makes him an icon today.—Tad Malone

RAIN DANCE Ip Man (Tony Leung) fights so gracefully it looks like dancing in ‘The Grandmaster.’

Beautiful Brawls IP MAN’S career fits in with Subject #1 in the current Chinese cinema.

That subject: how a fractured nation (symbolized on screen by feuding schools of martial arts) binds together in the face of foreign aggression.

One of the best films of 2013, The Grandmaster by Wong Kar-Wai is a triumph of the genre, but also a triumph of subversion by this ardent disciple of Josef von Sternberg. It’s Wong’s most accessible film, the least limply forlorn of them all. This isn’t work for hire by a lately hitless director. It is above all a WKW movie. The poetry of rain and unrequited love is as important as the rousing, sensationally edited physical stunts organized by Yuen Woo-Ping. The fight scenes are anatomized in exquisite slow-mo, with a sense of tension and weight in every smashed window or body blow.

Such is the courtship of the (almost) lovers: one is Ip, played by the suave Tony Leung, dressed in a scholar’s robe and a spotless Panama hat. The only woman in the world for him—and too bad he’s married to someone else—is Gong Er (Ziyi Zhang), the heiress to an ancient school of martial arts. A smirking, pencil-thin-mustachioed

villain (Jin Zhang), who has collaborated with the invading Japanese, is trying to get the secret from her.

The fights are more like dances than brawls. They take place on an icy rail platform far too close to a speeding train.

The Grandmaster Earlier, a dueling Gong and Ip agree that whoever breaks PG-13; 130 min anything in a room Opens Fri. full of carved screens and delicate furniture will be the loser—it’s the almost-ness, the brinksmanship of this fight, that’s a perfect image of Wong’s fascinating restraint.

Oddly, Wong is a Chinese director who sees China as exotic: he presents the 1930s Paramount version of China, with orchids, opium, crimson lipstick and satin slippers. He’s as lured by the exotica of the Golden Pavilion brothel (“Enter a prince, exit a pauper”) as he is by the dangerous Hong Kong of the early 1950s.

“Keep the light burning” is a phrase the characters use to describe the importance of passing on their art. It seems the light Wong means is the light of cinephilia, the memories and traditions of classic movies.—Richard von Busack

THE STRAIGHT DOPE

By CECIL ADAMS

Interesting notion, and perfectly plausible. Sex is perhaps the most basic commodity after food and shelter. Few sell themselves for the joy of doing so; they do it to cover the cost of living, usually for lack of other options.

Allowing for pricing variations due to attractiveness, services provided, and so on (which I acknowledge make for a wide range), and conceding that tolerance for premarital sex may have reduced demand for professional services (in my opinion minimally), the fundamental economic relationship hasn’t changed since we had brains enough to bargain. Ergo, prices for sex ought to be historically stable. However, proving this conjecture is a bitch.

Reliable figures for per-trick pricing are difficult to gather, with a large amount of error due to underreporting and other factors, such as whether the john has to pay for the room, alcohol, and other favors, not to mention the pimp’s cut. Another problem is that, at any given time, prostitution prices vary enormously from country to country and city to city. Looking just at Europe, some Swedish prostitutes can earn thousands of dollars a day, while Greek prostitutes, some driven into the business by the collapsed economy, have recently been found to be charging as little as $7.

Even within the same city, you can find extremes. A typical high-end call girl in the Knightsbridge section of London can easily set you back $250 or $300. My assistant Una once saw an advertisement in a phone booth while on a London shopping spree, touting “We’re identical twins, bisexual, and have no taboos.” As one might imagine, the listed price was steep—north of 500 pounds ($750) for an hour’s debauchery.

But the average London hooker doesn’t make anywhere near that much.

A 2008 study revealed not only that London had more than 921 brothels, but that the average price for “full-service” sex was just over $90. Off the city’s tourist beat, sex can be had for well under half that price, sometimes as little as $25.

Supply and demand come into play, of course. A recent price war between local girls and foreign prostitutes in London’s West End has dropped the average earnings of sex workers there to as little as $30 per hour. A study

of Chicago prostitutes found prices increased an average of 30 percent over a July 4 weekend, despite a 60 percent boost in supply due to an influx of outof-towners.

Another complication is that our knowledge of historical sex pricing is spotty. The merchant’s wife in Chaucer’s Shipman’s Tale sets her rate at 100 francs, which in current money is probably more than $5,000, but that whopping figure can’t be taken as reflecting contemporary market values—she’s an amateur who’s run up some serious debt. A better benchmark is that in 15th-century France, a prostitute could earn in half an hour what an agricultural worker would make in half a day. Using U.S. Labor Department figures as a comparison, that’s the equivalent of about $36.50 a trick.

More recently, in the period between the two world wars in London, one pound would buy a high-end prostitute—about $230 in today’s money, which as we’ve seen is within the current premium range.

A decent way to gauge prostitution pricing over time is to focus on a single city. In 1911 the Vice Commission of Chicago published a survey of local prostitution. There’s no breakdown of price per service, but from the text we learn women were often grouped in “houses” with a standard price, with 50-cent houses at the low end and ranging up to $5 houses. Streetwalkers’ rates ranged from around 50 cents to a dollar, plus the price of a room if needed.

A survey of Chicago streetwalkers from 2005 to 2007 found on average they worked 13 hours a week, performing a total of ten sex acts and making $340: $34 per trick, or $26 an hour. The overall weighted average costs for manual stimulation, oral sex, straight vaginal sex, and anal sex were $27, $37, $80, and $94 respectively. In terms of labor value, a dollar in 1911 was the equivalent of somewhere between $75 and $110 in 2007, meaning the real numbers didn’t move much over the intervening century.

So never mind price indexes based on the cost of a Big Mac and other such foolishness. There’s reason to think the bedrock economic constant is what it costs an impatient male to get laid.

CECIL@METRONEWS.COM I once heard someone—it may have been my father—claim the price for a prostitute has remained relatively stable throughout the ages. Has it, relative to the price of, say, bread, games, household utensils, etc? I realize this is a complex question, but still, can anything sensible be said about it? —A fan from Holland

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

I planned a cross-country trip to introduce my girlfriend of five months to my family. She just sprang on me that she wants my family to meet “all of” her, which includes her 9-year-old daughter. My family knows she has a child, and I really enjoy her daughter, but I’m really not ready to introduce both of them. It would suggest that I’m taking on the role of a father, that she’s important to me, that I’m ready to care for her, and that they should accept her as part of my life. I’m okay with their meeting the daughter later if our relationship progresses, but it’s still so new that we haven’t even had our first big argument yet. Is it okay for me to first want to love the woman and decide whether she’s the one? Is it a warning sign that there are already issues regarding her child?—Dating A Package

It would be clear you were in the wrong place if you’d spent the first date brimming with child-loathing: “Kids require a total commitment for 18 years—or maybe 13, if you can get them to run away as teenagers.”

But it’s perfectly reasonable to want to be called baby for a while before you commit to having one, and especially one at the soon-tobe-sullen age of 9 who already calls some other guy daddy. Ironically, it’s you, the single, childless guy who’s taking the more responsible, parental approach: waiting to see whether the relationship has legs before you start acting like you’re all a family, which could end badly. Kids need stability.

Ideally, “Who’s your stepdaddy?” isn’t a question a little girl should have to answer while standing by the revolving door outside the men’s department.

Your girlfriend’s apparent attempt to leverage your affection for her into a Very Brady Vacation could be a straight-out power play or a fear-

driven test to see whether you’re up to quasi-daddyhood. Think hard about the day-to-day details of being with a woman with a kid, like how her daughter will ultimately come first and how her presence will change the relationship dynamics.

If, for the right woman, the tradeoffs wouldn’t be too much for you, reassure your girlfriend of that, and then lay out the path to a relationship that works for you (more of a get-to-know-you stroll than a get-to-know-you freeway chase). If that timetable doesn’t work for her, well, there’s got to be a door there somewhere. But the fact that you have self-knowledge and the integrity to be unwilling to rush things suggests that she’d be prudent to see whether there’s something between you— that is, besides an anonymous call to Child Services by someone making serious accusations: adults around her wearing Crocs with socks and not letting her wear makeup like all the other fourth-grade girls.

calls for comforting and support the more independent that person can be.

So, for three weeks, try being much more affectionate and caring—and not just when she’s crying. Maybe even give yourself a quota of three out-of-theblue shows of affection per day. When she does cry, don’t try to “reach” her, except to hold her in your arms and let her sob into your shirt. Postpone any discussion till the storm subsides, tempting as it is to get right in there all guy-like and solve things—taking her, weeping, to Home Depot and calling over a salesperson: “‘Scuse me, sir…got anything to fix this leak?”

My girlfriend cries quite easily—over being sick, work getting frustrating, or even our evening plans going awry. I feel the crying makes a small problem bigger, as everything becomes all about her emotions and not the problem. I try to comfort her, but when she starts crying, it’s very hard to talk or reach her at all.—Daunted

If you can’t stop the rain, you might just make the best of a bad situation and position your girlfriend over your Slip’N Slide. As for why she’s so often inconsolable, it may be because her tears are, in part, a cry for more attention from you. Holding back on giving it, like those parents who let their babies scream their little lungs out all night long, is exactly what you shouldn’t do, according to “the dependency paradox.” Social psychologist Brooke C. Feeney, who coined the term, found that in a committed relationship, the more a person feels they can count on their partner to be responsive to their

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You seem primed to act like a ram, the astrological creature associated with your sign. I swear you have that look in your eyes: the steely gaze that tells me you’re about to take a very direct approach to smashing the obstacles in your way. I confess that I have not always approved of such behavior. In the past, you have sometimes done more damage to yourself than to the obstruction you’re trying to remove. But this is one time when the headfirst approach might work. There is indeed evidence that the job at hand requires a battering ram. What does your intuition tell you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” is a raucous love song by the Scottish band The Proclaimers. In the chorus, the singer declares, “I would walk 500 miles / And I would walk 500 more / Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles / To fall down at your door.” In 2011, a Chinese woman named Ling Hsueh told her boyfriend Liu Peiwen she would marry him if he took the lyrics of this song to heart. In response, loverboy embarked on a thousand-mile hike to the distant city where she lived. His stunt seemed to have expedited the deepening of their relationship.

The two are now wed. In accordance with your current astrological omens, Taurus, I encourage you to consider the possibility of being a romantic fool like Liu Peiwen.

What playfully heroic or richly symbolic deed might you be willing to perform for the sake of love?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The works must be

conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness,” said the painter Joan Miró in describing his artistic process. I recommend a similar approach to you in the coming weeks. Identify what excites you the most and will continue to inspire and energize you for the foreseeable future. Activate the wild parts of your imagination as you dream and scheme about how to get as much of that excitement as you can stand. And then set to work, with methodical self-discipline, to make it all happen.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): My vision of you in the coming week involves you being more instinctual and natural and primal than usual. I have a picture in my mind of you climbing trees and rolling in the grass and holding bugs in your hands and letting the wind mess up your hair. You’re gazing up at the sky a lot, and you’re doing spontaneous dance moves for no other reason than because it feels good, and you’re serenading the sun and clouds and hills with your favorite songs. I see you eating food with your fingers and touching things you’ve never touched. I hear you speaking wild truths you’ve bottled up for months. As for sex? I think you know what to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Japanese word senzuri

refers to a sexual act of self-love performed by a man. Its literal meaning is “a hundred rubs.” The corresponding term for the female version is shiko shiko manzuri, or “ten thousand rubs.” Judging from the astrological omens, I’m guessing that the applicable metaphor for you in the days ahead will be shiko shiko manzuri rather than senzuri. Whatever gender you are, you’ll be wise to slowww wayyyy down and take your time, not just in pursuit of pleasure but in pretty much everything you do. The best rewards and biggest blessings will come from being deliberate, gradual, thorough, and leisurely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “A beginning is the time

for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct,” wrote science fiction author Frank Herbert.

I urge you to heed that advice. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will oversee the germination of several new trends in the coming weeks. Future possibilities will reveal themselves to you. You will be motivated to gather the ingredients and formulate the plans to make sure that those trends and possibilities will actually happen. One of the most critical tasks you can focus on is to ensure that the balances are righteous right from the start.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The online Time Travel Mart sells products you might find handy in the event that you travel through time. Available items include barbarian repellant, dinosaur eggs, time travel sickness pills, a centurion’s helmet, a portable wormhole, and a samurai umbrella. I have no financial tie to this

store. So when I recommend you consider purchasing something from it or another company with a similar product line, it’s only because I suspect that sometime soon you will be summoned to explore and possibly even alter the past. Be well-prepared to capitalize on the unexpected opportunities. (Here’s the Time Travel Mart: http://826la.org/store.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mystic poets find the divine presence everywhere. The wind carries God’s love, bestowing tender caresses. The scent of a lily is an intimate message from the Holy Beloved, provoking bliss. Even a bowl of oatmeal contains the essence of the Creator; to eat it is to receive an ecstatic blessing.

But those of us who aren’t mystic poets are not necessarily attuned to all this sweetness. We may even refuse to make ourselves receptive to the ceaseless offerings. To the mystic poets, we are like sponges floating in the ocean but trying very hard not to get wet. Don’t do that this week; Scorpio. Be like a sponge floating in the ocean and allow yourself to get totally soaked.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): James Caan is a well-known actor who has appeared in more than 80 movies, including notables like The Godfather, A Bridge Too Far, and Elf. But he has also turned down major roles in a series of blockbusters: Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Kramer vs. Kramer, Blade Runner, and Apocalypse Now. I present his odd choices as a cautionary tale for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Don’t sell yourself short. Don’t shrink from the challenges that present themselves. Even if you have accomplished a lot already, an invitation to a more complete form of success may be in the offing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “What a terrible mistake to let go of something wonderful for something real,” says a character in one of Miranda July’s short stories. I’m offering similar advice to you, Capricorn. The “something real” you would get by sacrificing “something wonderful” might seem to be the more practical and useful option, but I don’t think it would be in the long run. Sticking with “something wonderful” will ultimately inspire breakthroughs that boost your ability to meet real-world challenges AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “There is more truth in our erotic zones than in the whole of religions and mathematics,” wrote the English artist Austin O. Spare.

I think he was being melodramatic. Who can say for sure whether such an extreme statement is accurate?

But I suspect that it’s at least a worthy hypothesis for you to entertain in the coming weeks, Aquarius. The new wisdom you could potentially stir up through an exploration of eros will be extensive and intensive.

Your research may proceed more briskly if you have a loving collaborator who enjoys playing, but that’s not an absolute necessity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “This suspense is

terrible. I hope it will last.” So says a character in Oscar Wilde’s play The Importance of Being Earnest.

I could envision you speaking those words sometime soon. Plain old drama could creep in the direction of passionate stimulation. High adventure may beckon, and entertaining stories might erupt. Soon you could find yourself feeling tingly all over, and that might be so oddly pleasant that you don’t want it to end. With the right attitude—that is, a willingness to steep yourself in the lyrical ambiguity—your soul could feed off the educational suspense for quite a while.
